    Another coffin nail.

    These rules were applied so agents aren’t prone to blackmailing (especially by services of hostile nations). If the Trump admin at the same time demonizes everything non normative and eases rules for applicants that sets up the secret services for desaster.

    It’s funny because I think I can see what Krash was trying to say, but remains too stupid to elucidate.

    What I think her meant was that some persons involved in bestiality were victims of someone else forcing them into such acts, and that those persons shouldn’t be denied employment because of it.

    Now I didn’t believe for a second that that circumstance has ever come up before and think that his inability to look past Trump’s big fat diaper (and his own gross incompetence) left him unable to come up with a better excuse.

      My main concern is that they’re focusing on barely meaningful shit like this, which ends up distracting us, while they outright molest our nation.

      Like, cool, maybe there’s 2 or 3 people out there applying to the FBI that have been forced to fuck a dog. I’m more concerned about the outright fascism though. And maybe they should focus on, you know, the fucking Epstein files and all the molesters within.

    I have seen three theories on who Patel means:

    1. trafficking or dv victims who were forced w/ violence by another party to have sex with animals.

    2. people who had satanic panic-esque “recovered memories” of being forced to peform sex acts by satanists

    3. people who were pressured into it during frat initiation rituals

    Otherwise, ??? And why are there so many people with these backgrounds applying to join the FBI? Does one specific horrible frat keep sending potential future agents? Are people in government believing the satanic panic thing again, and hoping to get a lead on satanic cults, so deliberately recruiting victims?

      #3 isn’t an excuse! That’s just regular beastiality. Being in a frat doesn’t take away your free will. You can simply not rape an animal…

        Yeah, agreed, but it seems like the most likely “reason” in the current weird administration.

    It’s not for normal people - it’s just so he can offer a job to Melania despite who she’s married to.

    Did they just point blank ask these applicants if they fucked an animal and they just straight up said yes? Fucking shameless…

      I’ve been through a law enforcement background check. The answer is yes. They definitely ask. You can answer how you see fit, because a fun fact is I can actually verify that lie detector tests don’t work unless you’re a nervous wreck and give yourself away.

      Purely conspiracy theory territory, but I feel like there’s exactly ONE person for whom this is a problem. The administration is trying to get him in the door and they got to the bestiality question and were like, “Are you for real?”

      So now they’re trying to knock this rule out of the way with enough surrounding chaff that there’s plausible deniability for why.

      I want to know who this person is.

      Going firmly in my my, “I have zero proof for this being the case but you can’t convince me I’m wrong” bucket. Why take the public heat for it otherwise???

      I think it was an anti-entryism measure. Zoophiles have their own networks (similar to pedophiles), and some of them could entry the FBI to frustrate investigations against zoophilic crimes. Pedophiles are already known to do as such, with even some leakages of more private CSAM recordings.
